Our faculty members are trained in the principles of Waldorf education, which emphasises a well-rounded development of the child. This holistic pedagogy balances intellectual growth with artistic exploration, emotional awareness with social sensitivity, and physical development through practical and outdoor experiences. Teachers weave these elements into the daily rhythm of school life, cultivating creativity, critical thinking, empathy and resilience in their students.

At the heart of teacher education at Abhaya is a commitment to continuous growth, supported by regular in-house and external learning opportunities:

• Weekly Child Study Meetings
  Educators meet weekly to reflect on individual children’s needs, strengths, and challenges—fostering a deeper understanding and more responsive teaching.
• Sessions with Dr Swapna
  Our school doctor, Dr Swapna, offers regular guidance on child development, health, and well-being, reinforcing our educators’ holistic approach.
• International Workshops & Annual Humanising Workshop
  Teachers participate in globally recognised training sessions that deepen their insight into child psychology, education, and Waldorf pedagogy.

1. National Education Policy (NEP) 2020
